Original vintage sport advertising poster for the Tour of France cycling race of 1955 and its departure city of Le Havre: Le Havre, porte oceane, ville depart - Tour de France cycliste, July 7, 1955. Great artwork by French artist Melis Seul depicting the riders racing along the Channel coast and a map showing the route of the 1955 race. The Tour de France is an annual men's multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries. Like the other Grand Tours (the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España), it consists of 21 day-long stages over the course of 23 days. The race was first organized in 1903 to increase sales for the newspaper L'Auto and is currently run by the Amaury Sport Organisation. The race has been held annually since its first edition in 1903 except when it was stopped for the two World Wars. As the Tour gained prominence and popularity, the race was lengthened and its reach began to extend around the globe. Participation expanded from a primarily French field, as riders from all over the world began to participate in the race each year. The Tour is a UCI World Tour event, which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI WorldTeams, with the exception of the teams that the organizers invite. Good condition, faint creases, staining and foxing in margins. Country: France, year of printing: 1955, designer: Melis Seul, size (cm): 59.5x40
Lot 5717
Set of eight original vintage colour stills produced for a film studion to be distributed to cinemas for the 1977 American science-fiction film Star Wars. Star Wars (also known as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) is a 1977 American epic space-opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the first film in the original Star Wars trilogy and the beginning of the Star Wars franchise. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew, the film focuses on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia (Fisher), and its attempt to destroy the Galactic Empire's space station, the Death Star. Star Wars was released in theatres in the United States on May 25, 1977. It earned $461 million in the U.S. and $314 million overseas, totaling $775 million. It surpassed Jaws (1975) to become the highest-grossing film of all time until the release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When adjusted for inflation, Star Wars is the second-highest-grossing film in North America, and the third-highest-grossing film in the world. It received ten Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture), winning seven. In 1989, it became one of the first films to be selected as part of the U.S. Library of Congress's National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". At the time, it was the most recent film in the registry and the only one chosen from the 1970s. In 2004, its soundtrack was added to the U.S. National Recording Registry. Today, it is regarded as one of the most important films in the history of motion pictures. The film has been reissued multiple times at Lucas's behest—most significantly with its 20th-anniversary theatrical "Special Edition"—incorporating many changes including modified computer-generated effects, altered dialogue, re-edited shots, remixed soundtracks and added scenes. It launched an industry of tie-in products, including novels, comics, video games, amusement park attractions, and merchandise including toys, games, clothing and many other spin-off works. The film's success led to two critically and commercially successful sequels, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), and later to a prequel trilogy, a sequel trilogy, an animated film, two anthology films and various spin-off TV series. This lot contains 8 lobby cards, all in very good condition with only faint cracks and slight folds in margins. Country: USA, year of printing: 1977, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 28x35.5 (Horizontal)

Banff - An extremely rare Charles II silver tumbler cup, by Wm Scott (elder), circa 1680, two marks: VS, ABC, of circular form with slightly turned rim, the side decorated with bright cut foliate engraving around a cartouche with two pairs of initials below the letter 'M', 4ozt 6 x 8 x 8cm (2 x 3 x 3in) Provenance: Purchased by Miss Janet Low OBE circa 1940, thence by decent. Other Notes: A matching pair of silver communion cups with the same hallmarks as this example were offered for sale by Sotheby's, London, May 2009, lot 394, with an estimate of £50,000 - £70,000. In the catalogue note Sotheby's mentions that: 'William Scott is the first recorded silversmith working in Banff (Jackson's p.591). (There appear to have been only 24 recorded silversmiths at Banff.) The Scott family came to Banff from Aberdeen and the father and son, both William, are therefore designated elder and younger in the records. Burns notes that "William Scott (elder) was also a goldsmith in Aberdeen, where he was admitted a burgess in 1666; filled the office of deacon of hammermen in 1673, 1678, and 1685." (p.577) He also mentions on the following page that "Both William Scott (elder) and William Scott (younger) also carried on business in Elgin, as well as in Aberdeen and Banff." The hallmarks are VS ABC. The mark ABC is considered to be a town mark by both Burns and Finlay.' A small silver quaich with the same hallmarks and engraved floral designs to match this example sold at Bonham's, Edinburgh, 18 August 2004, lot 126, for £17,000 (plus buyer's premium). In the catalogue note Henry S. Fothringham suggests that: 'The hallmark ABC derives from Scott misinterpreting the principle of date letter punches for each year and ordering a single punch incorporating the first three letters of the alphabet instead'. The initials below the single letter 'M' are 'AK' and 'BB'. There is evidence of a marriage between Alexander Ker and Bessie Burnet dated 17/9/1668 in the county of Aberdeen. Given that Scott came from Aberdeen, that he was a silversmith at that time, dating the marks on the cup cannot be totally accurate as there is no definitive date letter, wedding records were notoriously inaccurate in those days and in the hundred years between 1650 and 1750 there was only one marriage in Aberdeenshire between a couple with initials AK and BB, there is more than a possibility that this cup was connected with their marriage in some way, either as a gift or maybe a type of loving cup, the contents being shared by bride and groom. Silver items marked in Banff are extremely rare and seldom appear for auction. There does not appear to have been any other Banff marked silver other than flatware offered at auction in the last 10 years. The town’s recent revival of silversmithing has sparked a major resurgence of interest in Banff silver. This is truly an exceptional piece, nearly 340 years old and in remarkable condition for its age. Literature: Thomas Burns, Old Scottish Communion Plate, R. & R. Clark, Edinburgh, 1892, p.103 Ian Finlay, Scottish Gold and Silver Work, revised by Henry Fothringham, The Strong Oak Press, Stevenage, 1991 Sir Charles Jackson, Silver & Gold Marks of England, Scotland & Ireland, Antiques Collectors Club, 3rd Edition, 1994, p.591 Sotheby's - Fine English & Continental Furniture, Including Silver, Ceramics & Clocks - 28 May 2009 catalogue, lot 394. Bonham's - The Scottish Sale - 18 August 2004 catalogue, lot 126. Two minor cracks together with a number of very, very small cracks to the rim. A shallow dent to the side, on the opposite side to the engraving. Some very small denting, probably the original hammer marks, to the lower half. Some minor cracks to the body on the opposite side of the engraving, possible evidence of an old repair.
